After the party and lots of rollicking

I felt uneasy .

And some droplets of cold perspiration came

on my forehead.

I felt someone following me.

I turned back hastily.

I found nothing except my frail shadow.

Suddenly it grew larger and larger.

I could not move.

I cried for help to drag me out.

I just heard a cackle and felt a suffocation.

I woke up and found my body lying beside.

I ran and ran with my shadow and the cackle.

As Keith says Avishek it builds up fear in the reader but leaves them wondering. You did well to achieve this.....

A poem very descriptive which allows readers to use their imaginations to the full. The poem also held me in the grip of fear. Quite extraordinary.
Well done
Thank you

Keith
